Inner Strength (as featured by The Ithacan) is now open for block 4 sign-ups. 

Inner Strength is a group fitness class that differs from our more traditional classes in a few key ways:

i.      Participants sign up and commit to the entire block of classes rather than signing up 30 minutes before each session.

ii.      Participants meet with the instructor for pre and post fitness testing and functional movement screenings.

iii.      Class workouts and movement progressions are tailored to meet each individual participant’s ability.

We are offering two sections of Inner Strength this block.  Both sections will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a student section running from 4:15pm – 5:00pm, and a faculty/staff section running from 5:15pm – 6:00pm.  If you are interested, you may register at the Fitness Center front desk any time before Tuesday 3/28.  If you have any questions please let us know.
